That appears to be a “Landing” bass… carry on…

Gary,
I've owned 15 Sadowsky's and there are currently 5 NYC's in my quiver, three are 5 string custom builds. Years ago I used Sadowsky Blue label nickels, about 16 years ago I tried some TI flats and eventually moved to D'Addario Chromes or Tapes on almost all of my 18 basses. Two of the custom builds were built with Sadowsky flats, I just don't dig the low B and swapped Chromes onto them. If I used round wound strings I'd def still be using Blue labels.
I'd guess most of the people who play basses at a Sadowsky's price point, are fairly particular about the strings they use.
How long ago was this? The blue label flats were reengineered a few years ago. I have one of the newer sets on my P5 and the B is great.

Super excited to get this Super P/J in my hands next week!
Dang, am I the only one who ordered dots along with their skyline inlay?

Unless it has blocks I really don’t see the board dots. Last month I ordered a Spector NS-2 without board dots.
As long as the side dots are large enough for my old bespectacled eyes I’m fine.

Yeah, that’s pretty nifty.
Most of my basses have plain 'boards, but I like jazz and p basses with dots (or blocks and binding). And I've been all about that skyline inlay since I saw it.
Love that color and pickguard! Enjoy!Super excited to get this Super P/J in my hands next week!

Thanks! I have a ton of "fancy top" basses, and I have always loved Roger's candy apple orange finish, so I thought this would be a great bass for that color. I am really pleased with how nicely the pickguard accents the color, too.

If I get this right this is the most versatile bass Sadowsky has made.
Please let me know if indeed, there IS too much of a good thing.Super excited to get this Super P/J in my hands next week!
Thx
I love the CAO finish, I have a vintage 24-5 on order, also with a tort guard and matching headstock. It's a great look. What are the woods for your bass? Mine will be a solid alder body with a dark master grade Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and roasted maple neck.

That is my take, as well. Vic can report on his Super P/J 5.
